There are people who are wise

Result Of the Election,

The hOnors are very nearly EASY he
tween the Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis so far as the results of the cleo.
ton last week are concerned. The
Republicans gained the New JERSEY
Legislature, thereby securing a Repub-
lcan United States Senator from that
state in place of Mr.. Mcpherson. who
Is Democrat. The credit for this gain
Is given to William Walter Pbelns
The Democrats keep the Legislature
OF Virginia, thereby gaining a United
states Senator in place of the disre-
putable Riddleberger, who voted with
the Republicans. The Republicans
also gained a Representative in Con.
gress from Rhode Island. It has haan
said that this secures to the Republi.
cans majority of states in the lower
branch of COngress-this being of ad.
vantage in case the next Presidential
election should be thrown into the
House of Representatives, that bodv
voting In such a case by states. So far
as the local aspects are concerned both
parties are about alike. The Demo-
Gratis carried New York by an increased
majority and Maryland by reduced
majority. The Republicans carried
Massachusetts, and Ohio by increased
majorities, and Pennsylvania by a re-
duced majority. All these changes are
relatively slight, however, and are not
OF great moment. 1t appears to be a
good deal of stand off" all around

OF the hundred and odd millions of GAL
Ions OF wine that yearly enter Paris all is
as represented, the ''doctoring'i being
done after the wine has paid its duties
and passed into the hands of dealers
The most harmless of these tricks is the
marking of ordinary vintages bv the
name of some wine of much higher grade.
the next is making, say, three barrels out
Oh two by adding distilled water and in
creasing the color by mixing in a few
quarts of wine grown in the department
OF Loiret called ''black wine" from its
excess OF natural cOlOring matter.
Besides all this a large proportion of
the ''sherries, and practically all of the
''Madeiras" are made at Cette and else

are and so sold to dealers In fact, the
names have come to be so well under

classed as receptions. AS for marking
fair ordinary wine as Chateau Lafitte or

did something of the kind when he asked
friends to dine with him who were not

A Handy Pocket Atlas.

An attempt TO put in pocket size the
contents ola large reference Atlas is
usually accompanied by rough, mac
curate, and inelegant engraving and
printing, but in the New Pocket Atlas
of the World, published by Ivison.
Brakeman & Co., 1853 & 755 Broadway,
New York, this is not the fact. Nine
ty-one Maps containing nearly every
geographical point of interest through
out the world, are given, and each is a
gem of the engraver's art. Delicately
yet distinctly colOred, these maps are
exquisite illustrations of the best color
printing to-day Obtainable. While the
Maps leave nothing to be desired by
way of fullness, they are fully up to
date, and show every recent discovery,
or change of boundary.
One hundred and twelve pages of
terse, well-arranged, and accurate in
formation concerning every important
country or state on the globe, follow
the maps in this compact volume. In
fact, the book is not only comprehen-
sive Atlas, but also condensed Gazet-
teer of the whole world, and all put in
an attractive and substantial binding,
and sold for fifty cents. If not found
at your book sellers, ON the receipt of
this sum the publishers mail it to any

Bad Politics..

The election of John R. Fellows as
district attorney in New York citv is
one OF those eliminating acts of public
folly and shame which will probably
not be forgotten. Some of the New

the Democratic ROSTERS " to defeat
Mr.. Nicoll. In other words, the voca.

their partisan attachments. An the

day by their business" interests to
drop party relations and support Mr.
Fellows. 1t is not to be forgotten
however, that these disreputable and
dangerous classes of a great city did
not create the opportunity to vote
lor Mr. Fellows. The responsibility
Tor the nomination of Fellows rests
upon the shoulders ofsuch respectable
men as Mayor Hewitt and Edward
Cooper, and the disgrace of approving
OF this nomination, and letting the ap-
proval stand in the face of all the later
shameful disclosures, rests upon the

Among the other political booms
badly damaged by last weeks elections
is that of Henry George. His vote in
New York city was only a trife more
than one-half as great as his vote for
Mayor last Spring, and this after a most
vigorous canvass. This collapse is dis
couraging to the hope of the Blaine
Republicans to carry the State next
year. 1t also shows that the George
movement was based upon an unten-
able theory and that its own adherents
have no faith in it. It has simply
proved to be another of those ephemer-
al political movements that like other
mushroom grOwths develop with re-
markable rapidity and disappear al
most as quickly. Henry George
may be safely left out of all future
political calculations.

Mormon Colonies.

The Mormon brethren have applied.
1t is stated, to the Porte for permission
to establish community in Turkey.
The Turkish faith and practice not
being unfavOrable to polygamy. it is
not improbable that the Sultan will
grant their request. The present seems
to be an era of great activity in the
mission work of the Saints. They are
founding colonies in many places, and
unless modern civilization discovers a
corrective more potent than any yet
devised, the future may witness an in.
creased expansion their numbers and
influence. Their control of Utah is be-
yond dispute, and their colonies in Ari-
iona and Idaho hold the balance of
power in those Territories. Thew have
strong colonies in Wyoming also, and
those in Colorado are said to receive
encouragement" from the officials of
the State. The colonies at Diaz and
Juarez, Mexico, and in the Sierra
Madred mountains own 10000 acres
OF grazing, timber and agricultural
lands, and the treatment received nv
the MOrmOns from the Mexican nation
al and State governments is reported
to be cordial and hospitable. In Chi
huahua there are settlements owning
lands that afford room for several hun
dred Mormon families. There are num-
erous saints" also, it is stated in the
church's publications, in and about the
city of Mexico. There is besides a
colony at Alberta, in Northwest
Canada, where numerous Mormon
families are engaged in developing the
coal mines and the grain and pasturage
capabilities of new country. From
Mexico to Alberta, along the line of
the Rocky mountains, extend the
growing settlements of the Mormons
They possess the land. Their habits of
industry promise them prosperity

The reports showed that there was a
deep interest manifested in the SUNDAY
schools by the pastors and delegates
very important subjects were presented
to the convention for discussion which
were entered upon by both pastors and
delegates; first subject, Are we as
African MethOdists justified in sending
our children to other Sunday schools y
The subject was opened by Rev. G. W
Brodie who entered into the merits of
the subject with heart, mind and
strength. All of these subjects were
ably handled by the members of the
convention, as they set forth the laws
and doctrines of African Methodism in
glowing terms and burning Thoughts
winch inspired the entire convention
with the grand idea of educating and
training our children in own Sabbath
schools. The delegates and pastors
spoke with great clearness and correct
ness upon the different subjects of
training and making our children

Robinson and the school was addressed
by ID. Z. Hamilton an ex.teacher. and
also by Revs. N. H. Terpen and G. w.
Brodie. Miss Nora Brinkley, delegate
from Camden, read an essay before the
convention which was very instructive
and highly appreciated.
Resolutions of thanks were voted to
the pastor, Rev. J. w. Norris and the
people, for the Inequalities extended
TO the convention. The convention
closed its first session of two davs with
a grand entertainment given bv the
school, consisting of choruses
solos, select readings and address. all
OF which reflected great credit upon
both the superintendent and those
who took part in the exhibition. These
exercises were very highly appreciated
by the delegates and the large au-
dience. I'D. JONES Soc
